Another 12 months go by all too quickly as we continue to provide activities and services for young people in Keighley and surrounding areas. As of the end of March 2023 we have the following projects up and running within the community gallery space and our back stage arts workshop:
ArtyThings – a Tuesday drop in arts session for young people aged 8 – 12
Breathing Space – Friday session for under 16s – we are looking to reschedule this to a different day so we have a better flow from the students in on a Friday and various holiday time arts sessions held in the gallery which currently over lap
Breathing Space – Friday session for over 16s, this will continue on a Friday with slightly changed times
Saturday Club (every 2 weeks) – our long standing arts session including lots of ages and families
Holiday art sessions, evening sessions for board and card gaming through the gallery and with the support of the gallery volunteers
Alongside this we have a number of student placements from Craven and Keighley college who help out with various tasks in the gallery, shop and arts workshop.
## FUNDING & FINANCE
The Tudor Trust – core organisational funding from the Tudor Trust has been granted for 3 years and is a fantastic boost for Small World. The feedback they gave us was amazing and they are a funder who trust the organisations they fund to do the work
_“It was a real privilege to see your journey over the last few years – noting you were in a very different place when we first ever funded you, to the most recent grant to now. Your ability to persevere and adapt to continue going has taken lots of energy and time.”_
The National Lottery – A grant to support community gallery activities which has been brilliant in terms of engaging much wider participation across the town with holiday time activity sessions, activities for parents and support for local artists and makers to exhibit and sell their work.
The Brelms Trust – Young volunteer support project to help manage our growing number of young people who go beyond school age but still need further support to help them build up confidence and skills to help their communities.

## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
- To further such charitable purposes for the benefit of young people under the age of 25 in Keighley and District as the trustees see fit from time to time in particular by:
- a) advancing their education and development by providing and promoting a broad range of sustained, participatory, creative arts activities;
- b) promoting the arts in particular by the establishment and maintenance of a Community Arts and Music Centre;
- c) developing their capacity and skills in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society; and
- d) promoting for their benefit the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving their condition of life.
## **The charity's main activities**
The centre provides community based creative activities for individual and community benefit, focussing on self expression and self development. Primarily, though not exclusively, for young people.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education, the arts and culture.
## **Achievements and performance**
Another 12 months go by all too quickly as we continue to provide activities and services for young people in Keighley and surrounding areas. As of the end of March 2023 we have the following projects up and running within the community gallery space and our back stage arts workshop:
- l ArtyThings – a Tuesday drop in arts session for young people aged 8 – 12

## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £715, including net income of £19,792 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £19,077 on restricted funds.
Since our move to Keighley Arts Hub funding has been much less of a stressful issue and it has left us able to develop more interesting ideas such as the Little Nomad Gallery. We have been funded for the past 12 months and next 12 months through a generous grant from the Tudor Trust and we have been successful in being awarded a grant to develop activities in the gallery space so will be doing more community focussed sessions open to a wider audience.
We would like to thank our funders for their continued support.
Accordingly, the trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and have concluded that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £22,096.
As a small organisation Small World aims to have reserves in the region of 10 - 15% of its expenditure, which is between £2,900 and £4,350 based on 2022/2023 expenditure. Additionally it seeks to maintain reserves to cover any winding up costs which are estimated to be £1,350. Actual reserves are significantly above this since the unrestricted Tudor Trust grant of £20,000 was received in February 2023 for the year commencing 1 March 2023.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Approved by the board of trustees on 26/9/2023

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Small World Cultural Arts Collective
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Small World Cultural Arts Collective
## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Small World Cultural Arts Collective
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- 4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
